This blog is intended to show that it is possible to design and build an acoustic guitar with minimal tools without a dedicated workshop. I tried to document the construction process with photos and brief descriptions of each step; hopefully this site may help answer questions for beginners or may point others to some of the useful sites I have linked to this blog.

Finally, I got around to posting some final pictures of my finished guitar, just over a year later! Soon I'll record a video with decent audio to share with everyone how it sounds.

This is a bit "cart before the horse," so the start-to-finish building process begins below. Please don't hesitate to contact me with comments and questions, you won't be the first! Enjoy and thanks for reading!
